Singing Opera

Ning Jing and Su Liang rode to the Duke of Qin's mansion.

Halfway through, Su Liang suddenly remembered, "Xing Yusheng only talked about the deposed prince. Did he say who became the new prince?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "No."

Su Liang said casually, "Besides someone, there should be no other choice."

Duanmu Sheng was deposed. Duanmu Ao, the second oldest, is even more useless than him.

The fifth brother Duanmu Che is not only a sick man, but also a "madman" with a bad reputation.

From all aspects, Duanmu Chen is the best choice.

Su Liang felt that it was only a matter of time before Duanmu Chen was appointed as the prince, and it shouldn't take long.

When they arrived at the Duke of Qin's mansion, Ning Jing was taken by Prince Qin to see Mr. Qin, while Qin Yujin took Su Liang to the garden.

"Have you heard?" Qin Yujin asked softly.

Su Liang nodded, "About the deposed prince? Your cousin came to tell us specifically."

"I don't know what happened, so sudden." Qin Yujin never thought that Su Liang was secretly "making trouble", but she was so surprised that she couldn't help but gossip when she saw her best friend.

Su Liang smiled, "Your Majesty, it makes sense for you to do this."

Qin Yujin chuckled, "You're right."

…

Mr. Qin's face was glowing, his face was full of energy, and his health was completely fine.

Seeing Ning Jing, Mr. Qin asked cheerfully in front of all the male guests, "Is the wedding date set?"

Ning Jing shook his head slightly, "Not yet."

"How about I choose a good day for you?" Mr. Qin was quite enthusiastic about this.

Ning Jing nodded gently, "Okay."

Mr. Qin burst out laughing, "When I turn around, I will look through the almanac carefully and I will definitely choose the best day for you."

Everyone knows that Mr. Qin had a stroke earlier and was cured by Su Liang. It is normal for him to care so much about Su Liang and Ning Jing.

Lin Shuzhi came to visit with his two sons, accompanied by Xing Yusheng.

He first went to the Lin Mansion to pick up Lin Xueqing. They came together and separated only after entering the manor.

As soon as he sat down, Xing Ji came, alone, without his current wife Miao and other children.

In fact, even if Xing Ji brings Miao and Xing Yusheng's half-brothers and sisters over, from a courtesy point of view, the Duke of Qin's Mansion will not look down upon them and will definitely entertain them well.

Yesterday, Mrs. Miao also mentioned that she asked Xing Ji to take her and her children with him.

But Xing Ji still refused.

"I sincerely wish my father-in-law to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Nanshan Mountain." Xing Ji saluted.

Mr. Qin smiled broadly and said, "Sit down quickly, there is no need to be polite. Next time, bring your wife and children over. They should be acclimated to the capital, right? I haven't met anyone yet."

Xing Ji was stunned for a moment, "Yes."

A stage was set up in the garden, and Mrs. Qin invited the troupe of Changchun Garden to sing two birthday plays.

The guests had almost arrived and the play was about to begin. Qin Kang invited all the male guests to go to the garden.

Xing Yusheng accompanied Mr. Qin to change clothes.

"Grandpa, why did you let my father bring that woman and their child to the house? Do you always say polite things, or do you take it seriously?" Xing Yusheng asked directly.

Mr. Qin sighed slightly, "It's a polite statement, but it's also serious."

Xing Yusheng was puzzled.

Mr. Qin said earnestly, "Although your father is my son-in-law, to be honest, I only really got to know him after he came to the capital."

Xing Yusheng frowned, "What does grandpa want to say?"

Mr. Qin patted Xing Yusheng's hand and said, "There is nothing wrong with your father. He and your mother are fates, and your mother's fate is not good. I always blamed your father at the beginning, but in fact, what I really blame is me. The father failed to protect his daughter, so he allowed her to marry far away. "

Speaking of this, Mr. Qin's eyes turned red, and Xing Yusheng quickly comforted him.

"It's okay." Mr. Qin waved his hands and took a deep breath, "It's all over. Your mother is alive in heaven. She will be happy to see you living well and getting married soon. Don't talk to your father anymore. It's not easy for him to get into trouble. He's not just your son, the other children are also flesh and blood. He's not my son. He's a guest. Unlike you, he doesn't let the other children in the family go out to meet people. What the hell. What's going on? As time goes by, even if they are good, things will get worse. You can get married and live far away from each other. Can you leave your grandmother alone?"

Xing Yusheng remained silent.

"You have an upright temperament and a clear distinction between love and hate, which is not a bad thing." Mr. Qin looked at Xing Yusheng and said, "But ask yourself, do you want your father to abandon the woman who has been with him for many years and abandon his other children, and you will be happy?"

Xing Yusheng shook his head, "I didn't think about it that way."

"Grandpa knows." Mr. Qin said, "I just want you to stop being stubborn and let it go. Your father is like this because he is concerned about your mood, but now, there is really no need to do that. You are always so stiff. , it’s not good for you or them.”

Xing Yusheng's face darkened slightly, "Did grandpa ask me to show my favor to that woman?"

Mr. Qin shook his head, "Grandpa said so much. He only has one meaning. You and your father have a good talk and let the conversation go. Others, that is his responsibility, you don't have to worry about it. The Xing family is in harmony, don't cause trouble, you and you Grandma, you can live a stable life!"

Xing Yusheng felt relieved, knowing that Mr. Qin had said so much, but it was still for his own good.

"I will find an opportunity to talk to him." Xing Yusheng nodded.

The grandfather and grandson went to the garden, and Mr. Qin also started gossiping, "Ningjing and Su Liang, what's going on with them? Why is this marriage just a talk, like a joke."

Xing Yusheng coughed lightly, "Grandpa, don't think too much, they have always been like that."

Old Master Qin asked quietly, "So who likes who more? I really can't tell."

After thinking seriously, Xing Yusheng answered Old Master Qin, "Su Liang said in person that she likes Ning Jing, but Ning Jing doesn't like her."

Old Master Qin was unhappy when he heard it, "Impossible! Ning Jing is not blind. If he doesn't like Su Liang, what kind of girl would he want to find?"

"That's it!" Xing Yusheng completely agreed.

…

Although Su Liang asked Ning Jing to bring Nian Jincheng to pull out all the trees in Changchun Garden, this was the first time he saw the troupe of Changchun Garden perform an opera, and he was quite interested.

Qin Yujin smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't like this."

Su Liang said she liked it very much. In her previous life, her grandmother was an amateur, liked to listen to opera, and could sing a few classics.

"Brother, sit here!" Seeing Ning Jing coming over, Lin Xueqing quickly gave up the seat next to Su Liang to him.

Ning Jing was not polite and came over to sit down.

Qin Yujin turned her head and saw Lin Bojun smiling at her with a big white eye, which was brighter than the sun.

She smiled, retracted her gaze, and stood up, "Look, I'll go greet the guests."

Others were socializing, and there were a few couples secretly dating. Su Liang and Ning Jing sat in the first row, waiting to watch the show seriously.

"Have you seen it?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing shook his head, "I have seen it." He had met opera singers before, but he had never watched them carefully.

The first play was a birthday celebration play that was suitable for the occasion. Many people present had already seen it, and there was nothing new.

But Su Liang thought it was quite exciting and applauded several times.

As a result, before the first play ended, someone came to the palace. The Queen Mother was unwell, and the Emperor ordered the imperial physician Su Liang to enter the palace immediately.

Su Liang usually carried a medicine box with him, but today he came to celebrate the birthday, and it was unlucky to bring a medicine box to the door, so he didn't take it.

She said she had to go back to the mansion to get the medicine box first, and the old eunuch who came asked her to hurry up.

When Mr. Qin saw Su Liang looking over, he hurriedly said, "Go quickly."

But not only Mr. Qin, many people present had doubts in their hearts, thinking that the Queen Mother's sudden illness might be related to the dethronement of the Crown Prince.

Others thought that Su Liang was summoned because of her medical skills.

But Xing Yusheng still felt that the matter was not simple. If the dethronement of the Crown Prince was really related to Su Liang, she was afraid that there would be trouble when she went to treat the Queen Mother.

Xing Yusheng looked at where Ning Jing was, but he disappeared in a moment of distraction.

"Where is Ning Jing?" Xing Yusheng asked Lin Xueqing.

Lin Xueqing pointed to the direction where Su Liang left, "Senior Brother Ning and Sister Su left together. Sister Su said that riding a horse is faster, so she asked Senior Brother Ning to accompany her back to get the medicine box."

"That's good." Xing Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

...

Su Liang and Ning Jing did not go with the old eunuch from the palace.

Su Liang said that she would go to the palace immediately after riding back to get the medicine box, which would be faster.

The two rode through the streets of Beijing. Yan Yu saw them in the shop and hurriedly put down her things to chase them out, but they were gone.

After entering the house, Su Liang walked in and said quickly, "If the queen mother wants to torture me, the emperor will not support me. He might want to take the opportunity to dampen my spirit."

"Yeah." Ning Jing felt the same way.

"We can only act according to circumstances." Su Liang said, "Think about it carefully, how to get Nian Jincheng to withdraw."

Su Liang took the medicine box and left. After walking a few steps, she found Ning Jing following her.

"Are you still going to Qin's house to listen to opera?" Su Liang frowned.

Ning Jing shook his head, "Go to the palace. Help you."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Okay. Since the queen mother is ill, no one should stop me if I say I need your help. Let's go."

The two rode to the palace gate. The old eunuch who went to Qin Guogong's mansion to invite Su Liang had not returned to the palace yet.

Hearing that Su Liang was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to treat the empress dowager, no one dared to stop her. She and Ning Jing entered the palace smoothly and were led to the Ci'an Palace where the empress dowager lived.

When they arrived, they found Duanmu Yi, the queen, and almost all the adult princes and princesses were there.

Duanmu Sheng, who had just been abolished, sat in the corner with his head down, and next to him was Nian Jincheng, who pretended to be Duanmu Ao.

Duanmu Chen glanced at Su Liang and Ning Jing and immediately retracted his gaze.

"No need to be polite, go in and treat the mother!" Duanmu Yi's face was gloomy, his eyes fell on Ning Jing, and he didn't say anything.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Liang responded and took Ning Jing in, Ning Jing holding her medicine box in her hand.

"Go by yourself!" Duanmu Yi said coldly.

Su Liang took the medicine box and went in, and Ning Jing stood outside waiting.

The atmosphere was very depressing, and no one dared to speak carelessly.

As soon as Su Liang entered the door, he saw several imperial doctors kneeling not far away.

The sick queen mother was lying on the bed, and a group of palace maids and nannies were beside her, silent as a cicada.

She walked over in this strange silence and said, "The emperor ordered me to treat the queen mother."

"Come here." A low and old female voice sounded.

Su Liang approached the bed with the medicine box, and as expected, the next moment he heard a voice "kneel down".

Su Liang did not kneel, but held the queen mother's wrist and felt her pulse.

"How dare you disobey me? Come, drag her out and beat her to death!" Queen Mother Wan said sternly.

Everyone outside heard it clearly.

Duanmu Chen was not surprised at all. Although he didn't know what happened, Su Liang directly caused Duanmu Sheng to be suddenly abolished. The queen mother was unwilling to accept such a result, and used this method to control Duanmu Yi, and Duanmu Yi has always been very filial.

Duanmu Chen felt that the Queen Mother claimed to be ill today and asked Su Liang to come. The purpose was probably to kill Su Liang to vent her anger.

"Don't be angry, mother. Your health is important." Duanmu Yi said in a deep voice.

"My words are useless. No one cares about being bullied by a yellow-haired girl of humble origin. What's the point of living?" Wan said and cried, "Get out! Get out! You don't have to care about my life or death!"

Duanmu Yi frowned, "Su Liang, serve well!"

Queen Xiao Wan sighed, "Your Majesty, just now the Queen Mother just asked Su Liang to kneel down and kowtow, but she didn't want to."

Duanmu Yi glanced at Xiao Wan coldly.

Xiao Wan didn't dare to speak anymore.

Su Liang heard Duanmu Yi's words and continued to feel Wan's pulse.

Wan struggled, Su Liang held her down with one hand, not allowing her to move. His expression was serious and his voice was extremely respectful, "Please forgive me, Empress Dowager. You are very ill. For your health, I can only offend you."

After saying that, Su Liang pulled out a golden needle and stabbed Wan.

Wan's eyes widened and she cursed, "You...are you going to murder me? Someone! Come quickly!"

Su Liang said loudly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am treating the Empress Dowager. If something goes wrong, you can deal with it."

After Su Liang gave her a few needles, Wan calmed down and lay there motionless, looking at Su Liang as if he wanted to tear her apart.

"The Empress Dowager is too angry, so she is irritable and angry. I have been giving acupuncture for 49 days to ensure that the Empress Dowager's blood circulation is smooth and her mood is relaxed." Su Liang said seriously.

"I..." Wan was held down by Su Liang again before she moved.

"Be careful, Queen Mother. You may get hurt if you move around." Su Liang said gently.

When the acupuncture was over, Wan Shi really calmed down a lot.

Duanmu Yi sighed, "Mother, don't get so angry anymore. I have my own ideas about the prince's affairs."

"You were bewitched by this bitch!" Wan Shi got angry again, "She framed Sheng'er. Why don't you believe your own son, but this suspicious woman? I think she is a spy! She is here to cause trouble and disrupt the country!"

Su Liang stood aside and listened calmly, as if she was not the one being accused.

"Mother, I have already checked this matter. There is nothing suspicious about her." Duanmu Yi said.

"She is a disaster! She is here to harm me! If you want me to get better, just kill her!" Wan Shi said coldly.

Su Liang sighed, "Your Majesty, since the Empress Dowager suspects that I am a spy, I will resign from my official position, leave the capital, and go back to Xunyang City with my fiancé to sell tea. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to do so."

Ning Jing's voice came from outside the door, "I also ask Your Majesty to allow me to resign and leave the capital."

Duanmu Yi frowned, "Don't make trouble! Leave!"

Su Liang looked past Duanmu Yi and gave Wan a provocative look: I want to leave, but your son won't let me, and insists on making me an official. There's really nothing I can do.

As Su Liang turned around, Wan started to make trouble again.

Su Liang went out and left Ci'an Palace with Ning Jing, lowering his voice and saying, "There are not many normal people inside this palace. How about we really go home and sell tea?"

Ning Jing glanced at Su Liang, "I think you are suitable for performing arts."

"What talents do I have?" Su Liang said how could she not know.

Ning Jing said in a gloomy tone, "Singing."
